Check your notes against
this list before writing. If your note matches
a listed serial number it will be FAKE and has No Collector Value.
These items have all been produced since the turn of the century.
Most produced up to around 1945 were used for advertising on
one side and it's easy to tell that it's not real. The Bogus
Notes listed below were first produced around 1948 at the end of
World War II when Americans started taking vacations and there were
even greater numbers made from 1960-1965 for the WAR Centennial.
[Civil War to you Yankees] If you go to any of the National
Parks and many State Parks you can still buy examples of these in the
gift shops. Some you can purchase today are exactly like those
first made over 50 years ago. While I have listed every piece
I've seen or been told about over the past five years, new examples surface
from time to time. If you run across one, please email me the date
and serial number. I would also like an image. Your name
will also be added to my list of Contributors to this page!

Thank You!

I looked today (Feb 3rd, 2015) and the material has been edited. Most
of my words are the same. This site disappeared for several months
and it is now back. The person who put it up originally still claiming
publishing on the material. Such is life! :-)

Please Note: Since
serial numbers are most often handwritten, it is sometimes
hard to read them and people reporting them make mistakes.
So I have listed both numbers. It's obviously one
or the other. There is also a REAL note somewhere
out there for each of these too. Someone had to have
the real note to make the copy from it. A ?
means unsure of digit. If you have any other information
regarding one of these reported serial numbers such as DATE
or TYPE please forward that too.

I was getting behind on updating
this page and said I'd get "aroundto it" when I had time.
I want to send a Special Thanks
to Dane Courney for sending me this "Round Tuit"! Crutch 2/19/03
Dane has added more notes
to this list than anyone! His name is now listed in RED with **.
9/30/09 RichardMorin has added the 2nd most notes to this list.

I would like to get images of the many notes listed in the Obsolete Section.
Surely some of you have examples that you can make me scans of! Please
send me some! Thanks! Crutch Williams 11/12/13

I was recently contacted by Fred Reed, Editor of the
SPMC journal and columnist for Bank Note Reporter. He pointed out
to me that there was a Guide for eBay Buyers titled How
to tell if Confederate money is fake. You
can view this guide by taking the link (click the title in blue).
Main page where this person claims to have written other guides.

Now, none of the listed material on this webpage is copyrighted.
I want everyone to know what the fakes are but for someone to copy
my text (almost verbatum) and write an eBay Guide and take credit for My
Work, I draw the line at that. The person who copied my material goes
by the eBay user ID cwilliams3K.
Apparently he sells Civil War Prints and Scale Models of old Cannons
&c. I don't understand why he couldn't have taken my material and
then used his own words.

I have filed a Formal Complaint against this person with
eBay. I have no idea if I will be successful or not
but enough is enough. I try to help people and it's simply not right
for someone to STEAL my work and claim it as their own!
